Assuming freshly dirtied dishes then mostly Helly's method although we use running hot water and annoyingly our kitchen sink hot tap is FULL-on, stuttering or off which I *hate* but we can't fix without epic amounts of kitchen remodelling which isn't allowed or worth it in rented house.
If dried on dishes then washing up liquid in sink + dishes and hot water. Soak for 5-10 mins, then scrub dishes till most stuff has come off. Empty sink and stack part washed plates if poss to one side and rinse in bloody hot clean running water.
I don't usually bother with gloves and find bog standard fairy used sparingly as needed works well. Don't believe in sodding bowls either and have taken to hiding the one at work people use for dumping their stuff unwashed (grrr) so they can't do that so much...
